The Hidden Secrets of the Cover Design

For the first time, you’ll have the opportunity to explore an artist’s creative process and discover book cover design secrets, which are rarely disclosed. This insight can make you feel valued and inspire confidence as you develop your own design skills.

More elements, such as man, rose, gun, full moon, and train, carry meaning and significance in crafting an engaging book cover. Recognizing these can spark your curiosity and deepen your appreciation of their symbolic roles in conveying messages.

Unlock the Secrets

A trilogy that no one could have planned — because it was never written from this world.

The Midnight Train Trilogy did not begin at a desk. It began in 1990, in the Astral Projection trance of a 14-year-old Indigo whose consciousness had already traveled further than most adults ever will.

What came back from that journey was raw, unbounded, and unlike anything written in this dimension before or since. Richard’s unique voice — cinematic, visceral, free of every literary rule — carries you across cities, continents, and states of consciousness. Dangerous sensual encounters. Mind games. Manhunts. And finally, at the moment of truth, a choice that belongs only to you.
